Mala Duba Beach: A Complete Guide
Mala Duba is one of the three small coastal settlements that make up Živogošće, along with Porat and Blato, and its beach is a peaceful alternative to the Riviera's busier spots. It is less well known than the beaches further north, which is exactly its charm.
The Beach at a Glance
Mala Duba is a pebble beach with clear sea, natural shade and greenery, and a pleasant feeling of privacy. Živogošće's beaches have earned top water-quality ratings for years.
Facilities & Amenities
Pansion Duba Restaurant is right by the beach, so a relaxed lunch by the sea is easy. Loungers can be hired, and there are showers.

Exploring the Surroundings
For a touch of history, remains of Roman rustic villas have been found in Mala Duba and Blato. Velika Duba, often called the most beautiful bay in Živogošće, is nearby, and above the coast rises Sutvid peak at 1,155 metres.
Practical Tips for Your Visit
A car park is close to the beach (see the quick facts). Bring water shoes for the pebbles and rocks.

Where to Stay Nearby
There is no Makarska Exklusiv home right next to Mala Duba Beach. The closest are VillaSvilla and Villa Adriatic Beachfront, about a 13-minute drive away, and a good base if you plan to explore the southern Riviera by car.
Why Mala Duba Beach Stands Out
Mala Duba offers clear water, shade and calm, with somewhere good to eat nearby: an easy, unhurried beach day in the south of the Riviera.
